NAME

       t1libconfig - create the t1lib.config and FontDataBase files for t1lib

SYNOPSIS

       t1libconfig [ -v,--version ] [ -h,--help ] --force ] [ fontdirectory...
       ]

DESCRIPTION

       t1libconfig scans a list of directories  for  Type  1  fonts  and  font
       metric files, and generates a configuration file and font database file
       for the t1lib rasterizer library accordingly.  By default, it looks  in
       all     subdirectories     of    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts,    and    in
       /usr/lib/ghostscript.  Extra directories to search may be specified  on
       the  command  line.   The t1libconfig script tries not to scan the same
       directory   twice   (this   is,   however,   not    foolproof,    since
       /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts  and /usr/lib/X11/fonts typically point to the
       same directory on GNU/Linux systems).

OPTIONS

       -v,--version
              Print the version of t1libconfig and exit.

       -h,--help
              Print help about usage and exit.

       --force
              Force the generation of new configuration files  even  if  these
              files already exist on the system.

FILES

                                Type  1 font files and font metrics files, and
